Final: The Rapture (2013)

A Fictional film to be taken as reality, not fantasy.

[10 October 2015]

I look at what seems to be a large movement of religious films coming out, and I can't help but wonder why. If is acknowledged as just fantasy, like that of 'Lord Of The Rings' and 'Star Wars', then I have no problem with this film. The problem is that this film is set as a reality film, and there is nothing to give physical proof that it is. Man, throughout all of human existence, has created characters to help support the story that is their religion. From the Egyptian God Ra, to the Greek God Zeus, to the Muslim God Allah. ALL were believed to be, and for many religions and their gods of today, believe to be real. To the believer, to the traditional Christian, they 'know' God is real. And yet, they cannot explain 'why' they just the words 'doubt' and 'faith'. If you KNOW a god exists, these words should 'never' exist in their vocabulary. These words do. The challenge isn't to prove something 'isn't there', but to prove something 'IS there'.

Almost Human (2013–2014)

Request For Season Two.

[10/10 · 17 April 2014]

I have read dozens of articles, as well as all of the comments, regarding this show, and I can say that 110% of the viewers 'want' to see a season two of 'Almost Human'. There is so much that can be explored with all the characters, so many twists and turns, that this show can be, no doubt, one of the greatest SF shows to ever be seen on TV. I myself am a huge fan of many shows and films dealing with how mankind handles the future of AI, of machines gaining their own consciousness, to be seen as 'lifeforms', to be feared by those that created them to be what they are, responsible for what they 'want' to become, and the aftermath of what human fear and the need to exist will take us. 'Almost Human' has a great blend of many great SF/Anime like 'I, Robot', 'Ghost In The Shell', 'terminator' and 'Blade Runner'.

It is my hope that FOX will hear the fans, and grant us another season that I 'know' will be far better than the first.

Thank you, Markus Allen.
